On the Edge

Quarry Lake, in Bedford, New York, was built on the edge of an old pegmatite quarry. In 2005, architect Lynne Breslin added larger windows and cantilevered decks to open up the space and engage the dramatic landscape. A cantilevered glass shower in the master suite now projects out over a cliff, and its heated floor enables the owners to enjoy bathing virtually alfresco year-round.
